To keep costs down, we must have sponsors. Here are a few ideas:
Educational Outfitters
MBS
Companies who have been helping us with our "green" efforts
Global organizations: I have heard from the Office of Multicultural Affairs with the city. Who knows--they might be interested in sponsoring. The contact people are Solomon Hatch, Community Outreach Coordinator, and Barbara Medley, Interim Director. I am not sure if this is Sponsors category or PR category so thought I'd add it anyway--Jessica
International restaurants in Chattanooga who may offer breakfasts or lunches. Remember that they would become part of a short list of places to lead participants for evening meal.

PR/Publications will provide a list of companies who donate work on signage/PR so that they can also be listed as sponsors.--KatyB

October is Fair Trade Month—how neat is that? Perhaps the World Next Door will be a sponsor.

If you find sponsors willing to provide food/drink items please let me know as we could use those resources in planning for the meals and the cocktail party. Thanks. --Erin--

Could Paper Cut add the Global Conference page for FREE and thereby become a sponsor of the conference (at no cost to us!)???

Plum Nelly is interested in some sort of sponsorship. See Jessica for details.
